Subject: [gentoo-dev] Suggestion to drop "pcre" from default enabled USE flags in profiles

4 I think that would be interesting to try to not get grep build with pcre
5 support by default, specially after reading "man grep" and seeing that
6 its support is tagged as experimental:
7 -P, --perl-regexp
8 Interpret PATTERN as a Perl regular expression. This is
9 highly
10 experimental and grep -P may warn of unimplemented
11 features.
12
13 Also, at least of my systems there are only a few installed packages
14 with this USE flag and, then, I am unsure about real advantage of having
15 it enabled by default :-/
16
17 What do you think?
